- We manage assets for a global mix of institutions, foundations, family offices and high net worth individuals.

Our Philosophy
To paraphrase Buffett paraphrasing Graham:
We will neither be right nor wrong because the crowd disagrees with us. We will be right when our data and reasoning are right.

Blend rigorous modeling with practical wisdom in the analysis of Business + Value + People
Concentrate on best ideas
Leverage intensive internal research
Index agnostic—must be different to deliver superior results
Index agnostic—must be different to deliver superior results
Think…and act…long-term
The market will be inefficient—wait for it…but be willing to engage in constructive interference to drive partner returns.
